Motivación en las sentencias emitidas por los jueces de primer nivel en Ecuador

Abstract

Abstract: This thesis addresses the reasoning behind judgments issued by first-level judges in Ecuador, focusing its analysis on the case of plaintiff Sonia del Pilar Huilca Quishpe against the Ecuadorian Social Security Institute (IESS). It examines how the lack of adequate reasoning in judicial decisions can affect the fundamental rights of citizens, especially those from vulnerable groups such as people with disabilities. Through a methodological approach that includes the analysis of the judgment and a review of the relevant regulations, deficiencies in the argumentation are identified, and recommendations are made to improve the protection of labor rights. This study highlights the importance of clear and sufficient reasoning in judicial decisions, as well as the need to implement policies that guarantee equality and non-discrimination in the workplace.
